In 2017, the Walloon government adopted its second Action Plan for responsible (sustainable) public purchases. It lasts from 2017-2019 with the objective to attain 100% of green public procurements by 2020.
The main objective of the Action Plan is to attain 100% of green public procurements by 2020. This means public procurements without social dumping, SME-friendly, fostering professional insertion, contributing to the fight against climate change and contributing to efficient resources management.
In addition, this plan will contribute to the achievement of Wallonia’s international commitments in terms of sustainable development, especially SDG 12 on sustainable consumption and production.
